I happened to be shopping at Wal-Mart a while back, I know, I know it's Wal-Mart but frankly it's all we have in the teeny tiny town and I'm grateful for it's presence at times & sometimes they have some pretty great stuff... Sometimes....

Anywho, I was checking out the clearance section because I'm a girl who LOVES a bargain and I found these little lovelies sitting on the shelf right next to the Hanna Montana sheets (gag). When I first saw the $30.00 price tag I winced (enter cheap here) but then I looked up and there it was, a paper stating that all clearance was an additional 50% off!! Yes I got 600 thread count sheets for $15.00 smackers!!

Of course they went right into my cart and let me tell you something, these babies may not be Ralph Lauren but oh baby!! It's like sleeping in one of those 5 star Hotel beds. These are oh so soft and they get better everytime I wash them. So the next time you are in the store and you see discounted 600 count throw them in your cart

I promise you will thank me later. :)

Have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!!

PS. After re-reading this post, I'm afraid my friends that I may I have hit an all new blogging low as I have officially blogged about sheets & sheets alone....

I bought this cute little item at a local but very "short lived" craft store that we had here in our town.

(crafts stores around here seem to have a shelf life like a gallon of milk, they never last long)

I love that I can keep some of my small stuff organized but still within the kids reach & the items inside change all the time.

It's one of the things that's allowed on the counter top in my kitchen along side my toaster and sugar/flour containers.

I loved it when I bought it but hated the "wood look" yes I'm a paint lover, not so much with the stain.

So I gave her aquickie makeover by painting it white and sanding down the edges. I need to go back and do a little more sanding but I have to say that I love it so much more now that's she's all pretty & white.

I am so glad to finally check this project off my mile long list of things to do!!

I am officially a work widow this week, the mister is sitting in the Boise Airport waiting for his flight to take him to Dallas Texas where he gets to stay at the Gaylord Texan and do "work related stuff" for the week.

Yes it must be rough... :)

So I will be a single mom to 5 this week, well until late Saturday night. The kids and I get to celebrate Jentry's 13th birthday on Thursday and then Miss Brinley turns 9 on Sunday.

Needless to say it's going to be a busy week and after this is all over I may need a getaway of my own.
